Reserving Space

The majority of event spaces are now scheduled by the Office of Conferences and Events or by using Oracle Calendar.   Please review the listing of on-campus spaces and who schedules them for more information.

Goshen College departments and groups sponsor many events throughout the year. In order to prioritize use of space by Goshen College departments and groups, all external organizations must start by contacting the Offices of Conferences and Events to determine if space is available.

Please keep the following in mind:

• Reserving the room only gets you the space. You must arrange for set-up and services, including audio-visual, separately. If any of the services require time or additional space for set-up, such physical plant or catering, be sure to plan for these needs in the room reservation.
• Instead of asking for a specific space, please ask for assistance in finding a space that meets your needs -- many popular rooms are used by small events that could easily be accommodated in other spaces.
• Space is limited. If your program plans change, don't forget to cancel the space. Cancelations are most useful when they are early enough for someone else to use the space.
• Be sure you know what the standard set-up is. If you stop by to look at the room, don't assume the set-up you see is the one that is always there.
• Be respectful. If your organization hosts an event and the room is damaged, you are accountable for the damage.
• If you are having an outdoor event, be sure to identify a rain location or a rain date.
